The!two women who attracted the most
attention at the last reception at the
White House were Mrs. Frank Leslie and
Mrs. Leland Stanford. They stood for
quite while not far apart, each vieing

Two Florida Exhibitions.

Florida is to have two exhibitions dur
ing the present winter, and both Of them
promise to be successful and to contrib
ute to the States prosperity.
The South Florida Exhibition will be
opened to visitors on Feb. -, and will
continue through the week. The mana
gers are showing liberal spirit, as well
as ability to manage the enterprise sue
cessfully. The exhibition will be ex-
clusively South Florida affair, as 1t is
desired to bring that section Of the State
into prominence. 1t has special advant-
ages, and it is the purpose of the mana
gers of this fair to draw attention to
them.
The premium list is attractive. Several
thousand dollars are offered to successful
exhibitors. The largest premium is $3.50,
and 1t will go to the South Florida county
making the most excellent exhibit of its
growth and products. 1t is stipulated.
however, that there must be at least three
contestants for the prize. The 500 pre-
MUM for the best display of citrus fruits
ought to secure fine exhibit. There
will doubtless, be lively Competition for
a premium of the same amount tor the
best display Of vegetables.
The other exhibition is under the
auspices OF the COlored Peoples Fair
Association. 1t will be the first OF the
kind in the State, and the colored people
are making extraordinary eXertions to
insure It's success. They offer -, 900 in
premiums, and have secured the promise
OF the presence OF several of the ablest men
of tuelr race. The Governor OF the State
will make the opening address, and will
exert himsel! to advance the fairs inter-
ests.
The colored people of Florida are max
ing considerable progress. Many of them
have comfortable homes OF their own, and
not a few of them have valuable little
farms. They are advancing slowly, but
il is a source Of satisfaction that they are
making perceptible advance. The white
people are certainly doing what they can
to encourage them.

Peter Ney-Marshal Ney.

Several years ago Basil G. Jones, q
student of Peter Ney, wrote series OF
articles in the CHRISTIAN NEIGHBoR
leading to the conclusion that Peter
Ney, the North Carolina school teach
er, was the veritable Marshal Ney of
France. Those who remember those
communications of DR.. B. g. Jones
will read with interest the following
extract from the Charleston Net0s dnd
Courier:
RALEIGH, N. c., April 23.-It has
been decided by number of physi-
clans to eXhume, on May 8, the re-
mains of Peter S. Ney, from their
burial place in the graveyard at Third
Creek, Acomen County. Ney came to
North Carolina about 1916 and taught
school. Facts were developed that he
was probably Napoleon's famous and
loved Marshal Ney. For many years
this matter has been the subject of al
gument. In the past two years the
arguments have been very earnest, and
Liman Draper, president of the Wis
consin Historical Society, has been
earnest in his endeavors to have the
BODY eXhumed. The skull of the real
Marshal Ney was trephined, and the
purpose is to ascertain whether the
skull of Peter S. Ney is trephined.
Drs. J. G.. Ramsay, Wood and others
will be present at the eXhumation.
Several persons yet live were Ney's pu-
nils. All these are unanimous in the
belief that Ney, their teacher, was
really the marshal of France.

Let Patriots and PrOtestants Read
Some Signs.

The fact that Mr.. Powderly, the head
Catholic and the further fact that tho
leading spirits in the order of tho X. OF
l.. seem exceedingly anxious to gain the
favor Of the Catholic authorities and the
vet further fact that the high officials OF
the Catholic Church seem equally anX-
ious that the X. of l.. may SO shape Its
polity as to meet Endorsement by the
Pope-these facts and other considera-
tions furnish food for serious reflection.
With such force at command the Cath
olic Church would virtually rule all our
large cities, and would exercise an influ-
ence in State and national politics that
would be dangerous to all uncathollc
political factors. The Knights of Labor
and Catholic Church in their mutual re-
lations should be well studied by all pa
triotic people.-,T. Louis Christian Id
UOc0te.
Then read from the Charleston Nceos
dud Courier of April IS:
ROME, April 17.-The Popo approves
tho course of Cardinal Gibbons, and en-
courages him in his action with reference
to the Knights of Labor. Cardinal Glib
bons has secured the adherence Of Car
tliiNt WIN s'HpSoA ~ oSA'>i
Bishops for support.
Read again ibid:
NEW YORK, April 1S.-The Cutholic
Ncms Of this city received the following
cable dispatch to-day from Romo con-
cerning the Pope and the knights of La
Dor:
"RoME, April 1S..-The Pope has decid-
cd the question of the Knights of Labor
in favor Of that organization. The de-
cision will stand so long as the present
method pursued in furthering their aims
prevails. Tie document of Cardinal
Gibbons has been endorsed. The Pope
further decides that in Canada, where a
mandament had been isaued against the
Knights, the members Of the Order will
receive absolution on promises OF o5ed-
ience To future decisions of tho Holy See.
II the Knights identify themselves with
theories now being disseminated by cer-
tain agitators this decision III their favor
will be revoked"
If this much is given for the public
to read, protestants and patriots are
left to surmisc what is between the
lines.

And laid it by with care,
I folded it close with lavender leaves,
In napkin fine and fair.

For one like me to wear.'
So never at morn or evening
put my garment on;
It lay by itself under clasp and key
In the perfumed dusk alone,
It's wonderful broidery hidden,
Till many day had gone.
There were guests who came to my portal
There were friends who sat with me,
And, clad in sobereSt raiment,
bore them company;
knew l owned the beautiful robe,
Though it's splendor none might see.
There were orphaned sought my care;
give them tender pity.
But had nothing besides to spare;
I had only the beautiful garment,
And the raiment for daily wear.
At last on feast-day's coming,
Thought in my dress to shine;
would please myself with the luSter
OF its shifting colors fine;
I would walk with pride in the marvel
OF its rarely rich design.
So out of the dust bore it
The lavender fell away
And fold on fold held 1t up
To the searching light OF day.
Alas, the glory had pcriShcd
While there in its place it lay.
Who seeks for the fndclcss beauty
Must seek for the use that IT. seals
Tothe grace of Il constant blessing
The beauty that use reveals;
For into the folded robe alone
The moth with its blightinS steals.

A Discharged Nurse.

In q recent address Rev. Sam Jones
said:
God save me and save you from the
fatal mistake of thinking that l can
do anything. The most severe tests
and trials of al evangelist result from
the fact that people Will depend on
him. Quit looking to me. Look to
God. The good work of God is pre-
ceding any effort of yours. God is
working ahead of us. Let us follow
close after God, and work in earnest.
Just few years ago, one morning
in our family room, was sitting read
ing, Just after breakfast. There was a
little nurse girl there, about sixteen
years of age, and heard my wife say
to her, "Sally, you may go this morn
ing, and tell your mother don't want
you any longer" l read along a min
ute or two, and then L looked. The
girl was standing with the big tears
running down her cheeks. She look
ed at my wife, and said, "Mrs. Jones" "
and the lips began to quiver. Mrs.
Jones, please don't turn me off. |

had; but let me stay with you, and / III
try and do better" 1 got in to beg for
the poor girl just as hard as 1 could,
and 1 thought to myself, if the Lord
should come down here and say, "You
may go; don't want you any long
err would do just like that poor girl
i would fall down at His feet, and
say, please, Lord, don't turn me Off;
know Pm the poorest servant you
ever had; but please, Lord, pll try tc
do better.n Let me live and die i'll
Gods service. But God won't turn me
off. Go to work; let's do what we can
for the glory of God and for the good
of our fellowmen.

What Others Say.
rs. s.. YIDleS,1

Character does show itself external
ly, but the external signs of character
may be-they often are-misread
through ignorance. Mere manner is
not of itself q sure test OF character.
A PERSONS outward appearance is by
no means conclusive as to his inner
most spirit. Devoutness of look, and
Righteousness of speech, may be utter
ly deceptive. Christina Rossetti refers
to the earlier and the later estimates
of the chameleon, which is said to
look in two different ways with Its
two separate eyes, and which was for
merly supposed to be Of half-contem-
plative nature, actually living on air.
"Such was the verdict of ignorance.
The verdict of knowledge, nowadays,
is that the chameleon simply lives on
insects. His downward eye, contem-
plating earth, hunts walking fly.
His upward eye, securing heaven, pre-
sumaLly hunts floating fly, but still a
fly. There remains no difference
worth speaking of between his up
ward eve and his downward eye" 1t
may be thoughtless "star-gazing" that
lifts q pew-holder's eye toward tile
ceiling in sermon time. 1t may be
the humility of the publican which
causes the eye Of the worshiper to be
cast down in the temple courts. And
here it is that there is comfort in the
thought that God, and not man, is to
decide as to the real spirit of those
who present themselves before God |;
"for the Lord seeth not as man sceth /;
for man looketh on the outward ap-
pearance, but the Lord looketh on the
heart.n
